    Tank arrived, took 3 weeks but felt like 3 months. The past week i finished the sump. If you didn't figure out from the fine construction this is a manufactured house (my neighbors get mad if i call them trailers) so i put 4 jacks under house where dt sits.

    I bought a lee mar aquarium and had it drilled for three 1 1/2 bulkheads. Problem is the glass is 2 pieces put together and the holes were slightly off, it's about 1/16 of a inch and the bulkhead won't go through. So after 2 calls to the lfs and being told they get right back to me i ended up taking a dremel to it and fixing it myself. Now i am sort of on the fence as to what i think of either of these companies. Well here's the hole in the wall, hopefully I'll get it in there today.

    Well here it is, i had planned on doing rock and foam on the over flow but didn't like the way it was going so i skipped it. The rock is a combo of fiberglass rods and foam. I think it looks better than pics portray. I had bought some 1/2 inch corner trim but it leaves a gap on the sides between tank frame and glass. Looks like that might have been wasted money, i hate that.

    Thaks Steve. The foam is pond foam from Lowes. I'm not sure the brand name.
